Nigerian Football star Ighalo signs new five-year Watford deal

Odion Ighalo, Super Eagles forward, has agreed a five-year contract extension at Watford FC. Ighalo had been a target for West Brom, who are keen to bring in a new striker before allowing Saido Berahino leave the club.

The Baggies began considering Ighalo has an alternative after Diafra Sakho failed his medicals and the deal could not pull through.

Watford also rejected a £37.5million bid from Shanghai SiPG, a Chinese club, in July.

With the new contract, Ighalo has now committed his long-term future to Watford, as the deal does not expire until 2021.
